Elaborating the same he said, "I have always been active in all mediums and never took my work for granted. There is one more reason I completed 50 years in the industry. I always only picked up those roles that were liked by the audience. I only selected such kinds of roles that got immense popularity. I never got irritated with the pressure and never let get anyone irritated.”
